Be warned, only the drivers 2.6.37.6s [NOT s5] are compatible. Use anything else there in this release at your peril! Most likely wont work.

EDIT: ati_fglrx-11.7 is now available too at the above link. Please read this post_________________Puppy Linux Blog - contact me for accessLast edited by 01micko on Sat 13 Aug 2011, 01:14; edited 2 times in total

I have to start this laptop with pfix=nox,ram or it will go to the
desktop but not be able to create a save file on rebooting (screen
goes white and locks up laptop), choosing vesa until save file is
created and then installing proprietary driver works.

tell us exactly what you want that someone to do with the bug reports and someone might step-up. (not me)

Make and coordinate the necessary fixes and send them to me.

takes a very good skill set to know what needs to be done. perhaps you could delegate them to people who have the require skill after discerning the problem?_________________

For me the most efficient way is still a bug reporting/follow-up system like bugzilla.

If a project leader/main developer could work with the people in his team willing to use that system the status of a reported issue can be seen in a wink. Users will not be frustrated anymore to have to say they reported such and such issue already before.

Also for the project leader/main developer work will be easier.
I still don't understand how a person can cope with those long forum threads.

And I know this has been raised before and the general reaction was that anarchy is a better way.

Frugal then Full installs of the three headed dog directly from .iso (no CD used - thanks rjbrewer for the how-to-do).

My desktop system has a new ATI radeon HD5450 card which has problems with many Pups' default radeon driver when shutting down (not just this Pup). And that's when the radeon driver would actually run - my monitor is 1600x900 which the default-to-radeon vesa did not offer.

01micko's ATI pet mentioned earlier in this thread fixed the problem plus allowed the ATI Catalyst Control Centre to also run. Other different kernel ATI pets have fixed the shut-down problem in many Pups but not always to also allow the ATI Control Centre to function which now looks to depend on the kernel being right. Pity about the ATI's size.

Everything else in luci-529 has worked well and quickly on my computer.

Thanks to playdayz for the succession of excellent Pups, regardless of their number of heads.

Hi David,

Can you describe in detail your procedure for installing the ati_fglrx pet? It is so I can get a handle on it and improve the pinstall.sh script to make it easy for all. Lobster is having issues in Slacko.

wifi disconnecting need to then manually reconnect.
edit: possibly in association with low battery because i flat battery crashed it straight after posting this.

have installed frisbee and it too is going down. difference is it tells you it is down and then auto reconnects when it can._________________

Specific hardware: Is say, when video card A works for everyone but video card B does not.
Video card B has issues with the hardware or kernel version.
(Only another person with same card can help really)

Software interaction: When an app works fine but install another app afterwards or before, it then spoils the original app operation.
(Sometimes hard to replicate)

Erroneous bug: Quick bug report, generally withdrawn quickly when a mistake is found by user.

=========

I spent many an hour trying to chase bugs of the above kinds, only to find when I had an answer, that when I checked forum it was solved.
I now stick to my own apps or those I had a hand in.

It would be impossible for playdayz to be able to handle the bugs himself and he has to wait for an appropriate user to solve it and get back to him. All kudos to him for handling it so well._________________Rob

was thinking that Béèm would be a good bug co-ordinator. even before he posted about bugzilla. has he necessary methodical approach. maybe playdayz likes the idea of a bugzilla for his project where other devs dont for theirs?._________________

I will need help with the pinstall script, so Lobster, mikesLr, davids45, Billtoo, playdayz.. anyone else with a late model Radeon video card please test and report your experience.

Unfortunately I don't really have a "late-model" radeon card anymore. I have a 3850 and a 4670. I think that it would be the 5000 series and especially the 6000 that might be the problem. If you could send me one, I could test it

I installed the new fglrx pet on the 3850 and everything went well. I installed, then exited to a prompt and ran aticonfig --initial, then xwin to restart X with the driver working.

The only anomaly is that when I exited back to X to check that I had a working console (which I did) there was a message I had never seen before. I seem to get that each time I use xwin now.
